012value of an appropriation and a warrant article should not be should not be deemed to violate this provision voting on waren articles will be conducted by official ballot at the second session scheduled for September 10th 2024 at the town hall 10 Church Street deeri New Hampshire from 7: a.m. to 7.m the article reads number one shall the Deerfield School District vote to approve the cost item set forth in the collected bargaining agreement reached between the Deerfield School Board and the Deerfield par education excuse me Educators Association for the 2425 25 26 26 27 and 2027 2028 fiscal years which calls for the following estimated increases in salaries and benefits at the current Staffing level 2425 is 7,738 uh 2526 is 5,578 2627 is $ 47,2 um we have 2728 is 4,410 and further to raise
013and appropriate the sum of $ 7,738 for the 2425 fiscal year each sum such sum representing the additional cost attributed attributed to the uh increase in salaries and benefits required by the new agreement over those that would be paid at current Staffing levels majority vote required the school board recommended 4 the budget committee recommends 650 if pass the tax impact will be 9 cents per thousand and that was given under the hands of set Deerfield the 22nd day of July 2024 and signed by the school district or the School District board so with that I'll introduce our chair uh Cohen if who can present this Warner thank you hi everybody thank you so much for coming tonight I recognize that many of you might have other things to do on this beautiful August evening but
014we really appreciate you being here this contract represents a restructuring of par compensation similar to the last contract we froze longevity sure and um we fro the longevity and decreased the number of steps to make more monies available to go directly to the hourly wages this helps this will help get more Paras in the door we had five Paras resign at the end of the school year and we're going to be scrambling to get positions filled before school starts in just a few weeks as of late this afternoon we s of three open positions so this is more important than ever this past school year we had three Paras in step one two Paras in SE two four Paras in SE three we didn't have any Paras in seths four through six the vast majority
015of our Paras 13.8 are in Step seven which is the highest step to me this suggests we have a gap in retaining midlevel Paras it also suggests to me that while it's wonderful to have so many experienced and very dedicated Paras there aren't as many currently in the pipeline so any retirement or resignation from that very loyal group is very impactful to the schools as many of you know if we don't have enough Paris to cover Services outlined in students IEPs we will have to consider Contracting Services and or out of District placements the costs of which are unknown and would likely be very would be much higher overall this new contract represents a 25% decrease in the first year estimated total cost from what was presented and voted on in March the cost on
016the ballot in the march in March for the first year was 94853 the new contract has an estimated first year cost of 7,738 a reduction of $24,000 and 25% the tax impact is also reduced by 33% it was 12 cents per thousand in March and the new estimated tax impact is nine cents per thousand in my view this contract represents the board and the paras's joint priority in attracting new staff and retaining the dedicated Paras that we heavily rely on the wage table presented presented represents a fair wage for the entire slate of peras and is supported by the perah Association all five school board members and the majority of the municipal budget committee thank you for your time tonight and if you have any questions or comments we invite you to say them now
017thank you okay so now we open up the floor if anyone in the community would like to speak regarding the cost of the par professional contract only um that's what is open for discussion tonight would anyone like to come to microphone to speak please and when you start just please uh kindly say your name and your address Cathy Berry bles Hill Road um like to First say thank you for hearing us today um I've been a parah here at DCS for 19 years uh I have a lot to say but I'll start by explaining just a small part of our job description um a lot of people don't know exactly what do is that better yeah you can lower if you need okay just want to make sure everyone he thank you a day to
018life of a par is very different depending on what grade in at the middle school level a param wears many different hats daily we do lunch and recess duties where advisors and mentors we work in small and large groups we often sub when there's no substitutes available we help plan and run win advisory and Magic groups which are um advisory groups uh we proor tests in small group settings we're very resourceful in finding spaces to work quietly with kids when there's no space available um we make modifications um redirect we give manyi lessons we help with homework during lunch and recess um some peras including myself by supplies and snacks for students who come to school without those Necessities to help them get through the day we do more than just academics we form relationships
019and listen and try to make Le learning fun I think it's important that voters know that about 80% of Deerfield Paras live in Deerfield and are feeling all the same tax increases the other 20% live in surrounding towns that are also seeing tax increases we've had applicants decide decline the position um offering after hearing what we made can't afford to work here because our 55 more than what I'm making now after being here for 19 years it's time to bring Deerfield Paris up to what surrounding towns are making most Deerfield residents will see an increase of less than $50 a year it's also important for voters to know that insurance premiums have increased so without a new contract car carers will actually be taking home less money each pay period for the upcoming school year
020than we did last year um an example this it would be a par currently on a twers plan would take home $57 less per month than they did last year um and I'd also like to point out that 62% of our Paras are certified through the state of New Hampshire which is amazing um that means we either have college degrees or equivalencies so we have a a great team here and let's hope that everybody votes yes and um so we can keep everybody and bring people on thank thank you other folks I'd like to visit good evening good evening Kathy p m ABS I have lived in Deerfield for over 20 years for the past 16 years I have worked as a parent at aror school imagine how I felt when back in June I
021found a job posting for a transfer station attendant and that position had a starting pay that is $2 more an hour than what I am currently making after 16 years of hard work I am angry upset and frustrated I do not understand how my neighbors how my community can be willing to pay more to have their trash taking care of than your own children it makes no sense at the current pay being offered we are not able to hire the necessary staff needed to best serve the students current needs I was told just recently a young lady from town applied for a pair of position here and at other neighboring towns when she was offered the position she declined she chose a pair of position out of town for more money it's also hard on
022the staff morale to not feel supported at work every day we are asked to come to work with a positive attitude a smile on our face and the upbeat energy needed to interact positively with students when you are under paid and in a town that you feel devalues your worth it is hard to do that if this contract fails not only will we continue to struggle to fill open positions but we risk losing Pais to other communities and I know Kathy touched on it as well but if this doesn't pass with the increase in premiums a lot of us will be bringing home even less money than we did last year I am asking for the community's help in passing this contract we are not asking for much please please show us that you do
023care about the community and its youngest members thank you thank you please all right hi I'm BR Nichols and it's I live on Mountain Road De and I am here representing the par education and um first I to start off is I was a par here at DCS for nearly 10 years I ended up leaving last year obviously for more money and I another the district um I still coach volleyball which I love because I love the scho part of here um I'd like the community to know that it's very hard to make a living in Deerfield and live in Deerfield on the current salary offered I am encouraging voters to vote Yes for the pair contract there is a pair of shortage and pair need needed to benefit all kids not only special education
024kids Paris play such an important role in education and wellbeing of all kids we advocate for those who are unable to and promoting conclusion and Independence we also help with emotional and social support this job is very rewarding watching students grow and strive to their best abilities and potential I miss my students and I miss my DS family it was a very decision for me to leave but financially I had to I know the recent tax bills are hitting everyone hard right now but when you really look at the numbers for the average homeone value around $400,000 in jarfield will'll only increase your amount by $36 a year to me it's a small price to pay for our students to have the best education possible with needed support thank you for listening listening and I
025appreciate the opportunity to speak in this matter today thank you guys thank you [Music] good good evening I'm Cynthia myON I live on small I earned my Bachelor of Science in elementary education at pouth State College and I taught for three years in Rochester and then I became um a substitute for three years here before that I was in Chester for 3 years as a so I have a lot of experience in different places with children I mainly work in the lower grades here at DCS and I like many Paris come in early to prepare for the day um there are many of us meet our students at the car or at the bus we make sure that they arrive safely at their room and some of us don't lose sight of our children all
026day until we hand them back to their parents unless they are with another teacher we assist when needed we um helping students prepare of the day many of us go to all of the integrated arts and sometimes we help um make the integrated arts more successful for our children uh many of us have recess Duty and lunch duty we help open containers help with winter gear um some of us need to be with our students at lunch and recess every day um some of us help with toileting and the occasional stomach issues uh bloody noses straight knees all of that um we also redirect Behavior to help keep students safe on the stairs and in the Halls we clean classrooms and sub needed make copies prepare and adapt lessons to reinforce skills that are learned
027uh we make games and flash cards to assist in learning about a topic we make bulletin boards help out at concerts and talent shows and make field trips accessible to some students who might not be able to go if we were not with them we help turn a difficult day into a positive day and we make learning fun um in my teaching position I would like to speak on uh class size um I had 22 students in my class we had no Paris no support at all it was not easy I know the value of smaller classes like we have in Deerfield for all students smaller classes make for better learning for all students no child should feel lost at school I also feel strongly about everyone deserving a living wage with Benefits there are
028good people who want to work here but cannot afford to we all want our children to have good jobs with Benefits someday some of our students may come back as parents if our salaries are not competitive they won't come and they won't stay and we will miss out thank you thank you anyone else would like to visit see is it oh K and one is it possible to define the um the starting wage uh for the Paris on these steps um for me I was 20 years here retired two years ago and I have to say that I made what in at my job what I made at my starting job in 1979 80 I think it's 80 um as a a college person working in the parts department in 1980 which was a long
029time ago and 40 years ago that's what I retired from after 20 years here so it's kind of shameful in the way um people need to think about that and I also would like to detail that um if for public reference the Paras are paid only by the hour under contract they are not paid for vacations not paid for summer that's a misunderstanding within our town sometimes that I think is not I've gotten from people and um that might clarify that they think they're being paid for all this time off they were not they are not sure sure so if you haven't taken a look at the contract it's posted on the DCS website or the SA website sorry the town website um and I would encourage you to look at the whole thing but
030there is a wage schedule um as the last page so just to give you a little bit of a for step one this year a Pera so a new Pera coming in would make $13.14 an hour the new contract um for a brand new paa If This Were approved would make $17.68 cents an hour um so the a top step pair off last year would make uh $16.45 an hour if this were passed a top step par would make $19.95 per hour you okay uh others suan Ste Harvey Ro um wow um my question was going to be based on the front that why are the numbers going down in the ensuing years because we know nothing really goes down in the ensuing years and my mother was a teacher I was brought up in
031the school system she worked with IEPs um and um you know McDonald's and all the rest of the fast foods are paying a lot more than this so I would love some feedback on that thank you so the warrant article you mean like why it goes down each year yes um so the wages do go up every year which is great and everyone increase as a step for each year I think it probably is less because at some point the par of catch up and it's less of a jump year to year this is the increase this is not the total cost of the pair of sellers it's the increase so if you increase you know the the most year one then you're doing small increases after that if that makes sense I don't know
032if you can explain [Music] yes so the wage scale has five steps so after five years you're at the top making the max so you're only getting the increase um to that TOP Step when you first start you're going to move to step two which is the increase and that we that wage at that step up as well so it's a little bit more than once you hit the top and we have a lot of pairs that are going to be years of experience and and won get as much of an increase of years but everyone the wage scale does go up yeah so they will earn more every year that they're here until the top St thank you others to visit this even Tom Dylan hro I'm gonna try to cheat and throw two
033questions in here could you tell me how many errors the school employs and could would you speak to what the benefits package for a pair costs us [Music] sure what a benefits package cost3 is that how many so we there are a few open positions currently so I think we employ 22 currently and we still need to fill three um the benefits cost is a good question I can get my budget book hold on I knew I brought this for a reason all right I don't know if it's broking down it's not okay never mind the best the best place to look is the contract online because it outlines the benefits that they receive step by step um [Music] it's so if we don't have a broken up by staff member or the amount for
034each of the benefits um that's not increasing in this um and we do pay a portion of their health insurance plan and then they pay the majority of a portion of it um and they get things like sick leave and personal days but that's really the extended meod but there's a cost of that in the budget do we have any idea what that is for them as a group I don't have that with me um if you'd like to email me or or write down your email I'm happy to follow up with you on that but it's not broke out that way in the budget yeah I'm sorry the budget um the budget has the total health insurance for all of our employees but it's not broken out specifically for the pays other uh comments
035this evening for for this morning AR [Music] um just before Nancy sh just before this meeting we heard that one person who thought was going to fill one of those three positions declined and accepted a position in another town for $10 more in hour we found that out just this afternoon any other uh comments regarding thisle regarding the contract for warle one okay so that will conclude I will um will conclude tonight's uh special deliver session uh can I get a motion to adjourn sove moved is there a second all in favor any those we are adjourned have a good rest of your summer everyone thank you we're having a regular school board meeting after this if anyone would like to say you're welcome do not have [Music] to I absolutely well 30 minutes I

039consent so it will be two total um we did get the bus rots today yeah okay I'd like to add I don't know if this is appropriate but I'd like to add importantly that we need to um look into some sort of policy procedure for the entire the field student body to able to um know that they can access being on Sports and extracurricular activities with the high schools and the school whether they're home schooled or private school there's no clear way for them the parents these children are not in DCS to know how to do that so we need to some we can add that as a discussion to a following meeting if that works yep and we'll see what we have in the meantime I don't know if there's something in the handbook
040or somewhere else but we'll look into that thank you for the suggestion okay uh review of Correspondence there was no correspondence to the entire the board I believe uh okay consent agenda two items yes um excuse me you have a child wearing leave that um if you wish to discuss we would have to do that in nonpublic session if there's no discussion you can um go ahead and approve that now um so that's in the packet I'm to wait till public okay okay we'll move to non nonu um can we move on Kelly was able to get us some bus rots this afternoon um and we made copies she did indicate that she still felt like she was missing some information and and waiting to hear for some from some more families and especially at
041the high school some students were missing when she got the list and she feels like there's going to be changes but we thought it would be a good idea to get them preliminarily approved so we could post them and give families some idea of what they were going to look like and then um if there are edits and changes we can bring those to the next meeting is it more annoying for families to get edited bus TRS prinity or do you think they prefer having a preliminary bus for is it we have we have one more meeting in two weeks before school starts is that too late people not like I don't think so I don't I I don't typically send the roots out until right before school starting my preference would be I think
042to not put something we think there's going to be some significant differences you you do think so she didn't say significant okay um we the board can absolutely wait um the board backed up the timeline because we were having so many issues and missing buses and drivers and so they did back it up to the first August meeting but if it's if you think families are comfortable waiting and that's what you want to do we can tell her please finalize them and give them to us at the next meeting and we'll approve them that's what do you want to do I know we ever have we ever gotten a lot of feedback you know it's more especially the beginning of the year a lot of um feedback of my stop isn't on there um we
043did send out a survey asking families for what their transportation needs would be um per Dale Transportation needed that information so we sent something out I guess it would be a benefit to send it out and if people aren't on there then they would know and then they could address them we can put draft on it I think that's I think yeah and then everybody doesn't get all upset because they see a bus they're not on there they're like oh my God you I think it's in there think are there copies of B roots in there I handed yeah I there's one of the packets one of the extra packets is yours so that enrollment she Kendra then there's a packet yeah it looks like the same number of buses last year sign yeah we
044did have a problem at the end of the year is this the same that we had didn't we have a change at the end for there was an issue yeah but I think this is back to so high school is the area that probably going have the most change thinking okay is um she got the um list of names from the registar but she felt like there were enough names missing that had taken the bus previously that she felt like she didn't have all the information she and she was aware of the Cod change looks like there six buses um if we can can we put draft on them yeah I'm happy to okay I think that would help clear some confusion um I will make a motion to approve the bests second any discussion
045yeah I just I wouldn't want people to think you know be wedded to their 714 pickup and then have it be changed and then have bad feelings about that so I think draft is good okay um all in favor of approving the bus as draft hi hi is that thing yes yes okay uh mediate business facilities updates I see Chris in the back there hi CH are we good how's the summer Summer's been busy um so I've been here four years just a little over four years and I keep saying yes the last three years but I'm going to start tonight out with um these are the 18 people that came and worked for me this year um without them the school wouldn't look the way it does every year we just keep I every

048in the gym um and then we have another couple small items that we need to do but um so we're getting close close once we do the calculations the calculations need to be submitted to the town fire um Chief just so he can look over and make sure everything's correct we do not have to go to the state for this because it's beyond what the state requested solar um panels uh solar paperwork has been submitted for the re Grant we're just waiting our um barington PO is just waiting to confirm that and make sure that they don't they're not requesting any other additional information past testing we started a program with the state where they came in under our dime their dime to test repe so that would be a coule couple more weeks before
049I hear back anything from yes that's our drinking water yes yep from our drinking water from our wells Yep they're doing random test the um c y contract who is the cleaning company that does our night work um they submitted another bid for this year they've held their price for the last two years at $240 a night I'd like toog from the scho tonight sign that contract and SEC caring them for this school at the same price as last year m is that covered in the is that part covered in the budget you fall a little short on the budget because they're a little more expensive than if we had hourly employees but our hourly employees wait for night time is $14 an hour um when I was interviewing last last time I was interviewing
050someone for that position they were making 18 or 19 or $20 at other schools for work shall we I think we're good because we fall a little bit short but the our benefit lines have money in them because we'd have to pay taxes and all that on employees and by my calculations I should have um between 10 and 13,000 remaining in my summertime budget that can be put towards that so it should actually be covered okay good so y thank you this is not something where this would need to go out to bed just because of a significant change in the contract should but honestly I just didn't have time I I'm sorry I me I mean for our for our policies and we're required to do you you can wave the policy to keep
